Thanks for the suggestion Chris!  but I would rather have the black death than 
have FaceBook active 
on my phone.

Jewel,

I do not know if this will help your situation, but I had a friend that also 
could not delete 
certain contacts, and it came up to be because those contacts were linked to 
Facebook.
After he went into Settings / Facebook, and unchecked the box that synced his 
Facebook friends with 
his contacts, then he was able to delete those contacts.

So I would imagine that the contacts that you are not able to delete is from 
another app like 
Facebook that has been linked to your contacts.

Hope this helps,

Chris
